BEYOND CAYIL.
Rescued From the Very Jaws of
Death.

While the writer is we'll aware that
written testimonials regarding the
phenomenal efficacy OF any particular
method of medical or surgical treat
ment Of disease should be deprecated,
for they certainly are looked
upon with well-founded suspicion
by the public at large as being
little more than the cunning de-
vice of the charlatan, quack CT
vendor of patent noStrums. TO make
pecnnjgry profit; yet no one win
hardly dispute the assertion that when
a remarkable medical cure is had of
any description. and person actually
saved thereby, from premature death
the individual thus benefited owes it
his fellow sufferers; nay, il becomes IN
the opinion OF many an imperative duty
to make known in as public manner as
possible the method by which his health
was regained, that others similarly
afflicted may be able, if they desire, to
reap the benefits. 1t is with this end
in view that the undersigned feels
prompted to conscientiously pen the
following narrative and testimonial as
to the means whereby he gaiuad re-
ntwed lease of life. To commerce with:
My name is William J. Jones; by occu-
patton farmer and miner; am. 20 years
of age and have resided IN Beaver
County, Utah, nearly all my life. oc-
cupy and cultivate a farm at Rocky
Ford; but have been in the habit for a
number of years past OF spending the
winter months of each year in laboring
in and around the silver and lead mines
in the western part of Beaver County.
In September, 1886. | was employed
by the North Star Silver Mining Com
pany, working for that company in the
Chicago mine, in the North Star Mining
District. While thus employed. in the |
month above mentioned, | became ut |
terly Frustrated from the baneful |
effects of the very poisonous arsenlcal |
vapor and dust that impregnated the |
workings of the mine IN which l Ia
bored. This prostration and sickness |
was accompanied by an almost total
of urine, and a marked |
dropsical tendency of the body and
limbs. Failing to get any relief from
the local physicians, my friends con-
Guided it best to send me for treatmentS
to the Holy Cross Hospital, in Salt Lake
City. While the expert physicians of
that excellent institution undoubtedly |
used their best skill, my case seemed 10
utterly battle them, and at the expira-
lion of two months l was discharged,
with the melancholy information that
my case was incurable. j was then
utterly helpless, both physically and
financially, and but for the kind offices
IF friends would have laid aside, as it
we're, to die. However, l was taken in
md cared for, and two of the ablest
physicians Salt Lake afforded called
10 my assistance. One OF them dag Il
,osed my disease as being nephr5t,s,
md the other medical gentle
nan said I was suffering from an
Lcute stage of BTight's disease of the /
Ny bodyi and limbs were
wollen to frightful extent, the skin
,eing apparently distended to it's utmost!
ension by the watery secretion. Both
# the physicians referred to above, gave
ny CAGE their best attention, but not
their efforts and skill l
grew worse and they also
ave up my cas- as hopeless. In this &,
errible extremity, my friends happen.
ng to learn OF some cases of similar
haracter that had been successfully
reated by DR.. II. E. Grow, the Electro
athist of liz w. South Temple Street, /
tlG LAM anu I'LL GSlAIOSI AhdI
enture, they called him TO examine
nd diagnose the case. After making
he examination Mr.. Grow reported
hat my complaint was an almost COM
Iete paralysis of the kidneys. To make
long story short. Mr.. Grow gave me
ne hours treatment daily for two
nonths, experimenting the electric
Emulation by mild medicine. At the
EXPIRATION of the period referred to, my
ody had become reduced to its natural
ize, and to the infinite Joy OF my family
was enabled to return and resume my
abors' on the farm wholly and per-
1anently cured. This testimony is en-l
rely voluntary and unsolicited, andI
J in my humble opinion but a meagre
ribute to the wonderful efficacy of the
iectrical treatment of disease, as prac-
iced by DR.. a. E. Grow, OF Salt Lake !
